Linoleum xf A surface revolution! For more than a hundred years, linoleum flooring has been appreciated for its many strong benefits – its naturalness, comfort, durability and, most of all, its beauty. Now another important benefit can be added to the list: a surface protection that gives superior resistance to abrasion and chemicals as well as easy cleaning and maintenance. The daily care of linoleum flooring is a completely different story from now on. It gives a totally new economic picture, with excellent life cycle costs. Linoleum xf construction Urethane polymerbased surface treatment with particle reinforcement Solid linoleum Jute backing Tarkett presents Linoleum xf – a true surface revolution. With Linoleum xf, there are no longer any limitations to consider when you choose linoleum flooring. From beginning to end, Linoleum xf will give you all the advantages you could wish for: • Extremely strong surface toughness – second only to diamonds • Excellent resistance to abrasion, stains and chemicals • xf welding rods based on unique formula – for perfect joints over time • No initial wax or polish needed – no need to strip • Easy cleaning and maintenance, 30% saving on maintenance costs • More than 50% saving on water, detergent and energy • Excellent life cycle cost Abrasion resistance for xf The abrasion resistance for xf shows remarkable results, compared with regular surface treatment for resilient flooring. Surface treatment loss is measured in a modified Taber test, where a wheel covered with emery paper and loaded with a 1 kg weight rotates on the surface. The emery paper is renewed every 20 revolutions to maintain the abrasive action. When the surface treatment is worn out, the number of revolutions is noted.

Linoleum xf welding rods All the advantages provided by Tarkett Linoleum flooring are now crowned by a crucial benefit for a perfect result – the xf welding rod. A unique formula developed and patented by Tarkett allows for welding rods that need no special treatment, and yet resist all kinds of soiling and abrasion. Your flooring will have perfect joints, both from an aesthetic and a functional point of view.

The surfaces were cleaned with a dried rag. The sample with xf welding rod shows a remarkable improvement when it comes to soiling behaviour and cleaning properties.
